Setting Up Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling

Sign Up for AWS

When you create an AWS account, we automatically sign up your account for all AWS
services.
You pay only for the services that you use. You can use Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling at
no additional charge
beyond what you are paying for your EC2 instances.

If you previously signed in to the AWS Management Console using AWS account root user
credentials, choose
Sign in to a different account. If you previously signed in to the console
using IAM credentials, choose Sign-in using root account credentials.
Then choose Create a new AWS account.

Follow the online instructions.

Part of the sign-up procedure involves receiving a phone call and entering
a verification code using the phone keypad.

AWS sends you a confirmation email after the sign-up process is complete.
